VB-10 в период проведения испытаний
The first SNCAN-built production VB 10, which flew for the first time on 3 November 1947. This featured redesigned and taller vertical tail surfaces, and armament was confined to four wing-mounted cannon.
The Arsenal VB-10-02 second prototype tandem engined fighter displayed at Paris differed from the first prototype in having a blister cockpit hood and two 12-cyl upright vee geared and supercharged Hispano-Suiza 12Z engines with a normal rating of 1500hp instead of the 830hp 12Y engines in the VB-10-01. It first flew 21.9.46, fourteen months after the first prototype, and had an armament of four 20mm cannon and six 0.5in machine guns. A 3rd prototype did in fact fly for camera trials. The first production VB-10 (photo) with a taller fin and rudder and without the machine guns, first flew 3.11.47 but only three more were flown before the production contract was cancelled 21.9.48 and over 30 partly constructed airframes scrapped.
